The only way you could get 100% blue hatch is if you bred Splash to Black.

Blue to Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Splash, 25% Black
Splash to Blue = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash to Black = 100% Blue
Splash to Splash = 100% Splash
Blue to Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black to Black = 100% Black

Obviously it is. What color are your hens? My blue ameraucana rooster over a reddish partridge-type pattern EE hen (the one in my avatar) threw all blue or black chicks with no obvious leakage (at least not so far at 7-9 weeks). The same rooster over speckled sussex hens threw chicks that were either blue or black with brown leakage on the breast feathers and a little bit on the shoulders.
